you

A ship will find us soon, Emma.

Lots of ships in the Mediterranean.

Mosin, break out the royals.

Mosin. Mosin. Mosin.

I know, I know. I got eyes on my head.

Houndsman, watch your court!

I think we should log up 200 today.

You'd see the rock within the week if it went home.

Especially. Don't you think it'd be a mite too cold for Mrs. O 'Neill?

The air never did anybody any harm.

In fact, I told her it would do her good.

A bit liverish this morning?

We lost three days putting in the port side.

Oh, not still on about that, are you? Well, I've been working it out. Port

towage charges, and by the ditch, we'll see no change out of 50 pounds. Well,

what of it? It's my money.

Some of it.

Oh, I see.

Now that you've got a few shares in the ship, you... Well, I'll pay for it out

of my own pocket.

Right. Right.

And take the profit.

Profit? Mm -hmm.

What profit?

I've picked up a contract.

Transporting horses for the army.

Well, that's a team ship train.

Yes. Now, Sister Elizabeth will offer me no less than 500 pounds for it.

I think I'll join that in.

Perhaps you've found the atmosphere a bit too sharp.

Here you are, ma 'am. I've put a bit of rum in it. Oh, thank you, Croker.

You want to watch that wind?

Easy to go down with the pneumonia or the influenza.

I think I'll survive, Croker. It's a killer, that old influenza.

I think Mama's cook and

son are sending a steamer up the Nile on their own expense.

That'll cost them a bob or two.

Should General Gordon be rescued, James?

Of course he will.

I heard that he can hang on in Khartoum for at least six months.

What?

Still enjoying the voyage?

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Still, I shan't be sorry to get home.

I mean, we've been away for six months.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to moving into the new house, James.

Our own little villa, just for the two of us.

Well, aren't you?

Oh, aye, aye.

Anyway, I don't think I'm really cut out to be a lady of leisure.

Well, there's little to do at home, and, well, the factory more or less runs

itself now. But you are still enjoying it.

Some of it.

Well, most of it, really.

Only... Right.

Next time we'll go somewhere warmer.

South Africa. Now, you've never been there. James?

Hmm?

No.

Look.

Don't you see, when you're aboard ship, there's always something for you to do.

But, oh, I feel I'm just frittering my time away.

Oh, it's pleasant enough.

And some of it I do enjoy. But it's not, I know.

No.

I see.

Hold on a starboard bow!

In the two years that Charlotte married, I've been away with you three times.

I've tried sharing your life.

Really, I have.

Don't you think you could try sharing mine?

Thought you said you had nothing to do.

Well, I'm sure we can find something to share together.

Like what?

Oh, damn it, James, I don't know.

There you are, you see.

Sometimes you can be so pig -headed and selfish.

Oh, me?

Yes, you.

Always what you want.

Take the house for instance. You knew I wanted somewhere smaller now that we're

on our own. Well, I agreed to move, didn't I?

In the end, and I think I should be left to furnish it on my own.

Oh, now, that's something we could do together, James.

Right, if that's what you want. I'll spend a couple of months ashore.

Get the place ship -shaped.

You mean that?

No.

Changing course.

Captain's compliments, sir. He wondered if you'd come up on deck.

Right, coming right away.

A couple of people in a small boat. Nearly dead, I shouldn't wonder.

Go up, Missy.

Climb.

Give her a hand attack.

Watch out she don't fall.

Come on, there. I'll take that. No, no, I'll carry it, thank you.

I'll take her below.

My father?

Don't you worry, miss. He'll be with you directly.

Yeah, give me that bag.

No, no, I can manage, I do assure you. Jimmy, take that damn bag for him before

he breaks his neck.

Relax, relax.

Careful, dear. There we are.

Dawson is the name, sir.

Professor Eustace Dawson. James and Ada.

Here. Better get your bill now.

Deeply indebted, you say?

Deeply indebted?

I wouldn't have minded being captured with that wheel, I see.

Let's eat.

Here, blanket, will you?

The thing is to get them warm.

Oh, Croker.

Two days.

Sorry to cause you so much trouble. Oh, that's no trouble.

It'll be quite safe.

Tell me one thing, sir.

Where are you bound?

Liverpool. England.

Thank heavens for that.

Out of the Parliament!

Are you absolutely sure those telegrams were sent?

Well, two were addressed to the House of Commons and one to... Yes, that is

correct, Smith Square.

And all of them to Sir Daniel Fogarty MP.

Well, in that case, why haven't I had a reply?

Look, will you ask the telegraph boys to keep on calling, please?

Good day.

Elizabeth, I'm absolutely sure there's no need for you to go rushing off to

London like this. There is every need, Sarah.

All it says in the newspaper is that there was an explosion at the House of

Commons causing extensive damage.

No mention of anyone being injured. Exactly.

If no one had been injured, they would have made a point of mentioning it. I

think you're worrying, Aunt Julie. No, Sarah, my mind is quite made up.

Besides, I haven't seen Daniel for at least three months, and it's high time

spent a few days together.

Now, Samuel, you will carry out all my instructions to Mr. Dunwoody, won't you?

Yes, yes. Now, try to put the business out of your mind, and don't worry.

Give our love to Daniel. Tell him not to work too hard.

Samuel.

Ring the bell, would you, dear? I think I'd like some tea before we go.

I do hope Uncle Daniel is all right.

They say in the newspaper that the explosion was probably the work of the

Fennians. They want their country back, Mother. I don't approve of their

methods, but I do understand their reasons.

Samuel. I hope you don't voice those sentiments in public.

Oh, Mary, may we have some tea, please?

You know, I think it's strange, Daniel not coming home for Christmas.

Nothing strange about it, Mother. He was chosen by Mr. Gladstone himself to

report on the sedan, so he could hardly be over there and in Liverpool at the

same time, now could he?

Well, I hope that was the reason.

You know, in the two years he's been in Parliament, he's hardly been home at

all. I hope there's nothing wrong between those two.

Why should you say that?

I don't know.

How, Charlotte?

Oh, fine.

Yes, she's fine.

I hardly see anything of her these days, either.

You must get her to visit me, Samuel, and bring the children.

I'd be rather tired of the house, you see, Mother.

Oh, what nonsense.

She's got a nanny for Robert, a nurse for Anne, and a carriage at her constant

disposal. It's boiler, you know.

Oh, I can afford it.

I'm not just talking about money matters.

You give way to her in so many ways.

Take this business of the christening of Anne. Mother, we both agreed to wait

until Uncle James and Aunt Lettie had returned. By which time that child will

nearly five months old. Now, if anything should happen to you... Mother, will

you just please allow me to run my own life?

I'm sorry, Samuel.

I was only thinking of the child.

And there's no need for you to lose your temper with me simply because all is

not well between you and Charlotte.

Mother, I did not say that.

You didn't need to.

But if you don't want to talk about it, far be it from me to interfere.

Oh, how are you feeling?

Oh, much better, thank you. Well, you slept the clock around.

Do you feel able to taste some dinner?

Oh, thank you.

Right, half an hour.

Yes.

He seems a pleasant man.

Yes.

Are you going to tell him the truth, Bob?

Of course.

I meant about what you have in them.

Oh, I don't think we need mention this, do you?

Good.

Make the taste better, yeah?

That's yours,

Mac.

Here, Jimmy.

First I could do.

There'll be more pickings by the time you come off watch. You.

Get food for me, yeah? Of course I will, Dutchie, as soon as I can.

Come on, then. What's her name?

Oh, Emma.

Emma Dawson. Emma.

Emma, that's a grand name for a lassie.

Because she's a bit on the wee side for you, Max, but I'd shape up just fine.

I'm the hoddy of it.

Do you know how they came to be out there in that boat?

Not yet, but I'll find out.

Eh? You do that?

Because I'm curious.

He's got one of his black boobs coming on again.

Aye, best be careful.

Here, you finish up.

This Professor Macborough sounds an absolute tyrant. Oh, no, no, no, no. A

tyrant is far too harsh a description, Mrs. Remedian.

But he certainly does rule Luxor with a rod of iron.

You see, he firmly believes that he is the only authority on Amenhotep.

I'm a loser.

I'm in Hottie III, the 9th pharaoh of the 18th dynasty.

Oh, that one.

Well, the trouble was that Maspero refused to admit that I was the great

authority. Professor, let's start it off by telling us how you and your daughter

came to be adrift in an open house.

Yes, well, I'm sorry, but I felt it important that you should know something

the background.

James, why not let Professor Dawson tell the story in his own way?

Yes. Well, after Professor Maspero went down to Cairo, I authorized digging to

begin to one side of the temple, where I firmly believed we would discover a

small burial chamber.

Now, this was a point on which we had constantly disagreed.

However, to my utter joy, we did discover this chamber.

However, when Professor Maspero returned from Cairo, he flew into a temple.

claiming that the discovery was of no significance whatsoever and that I was

deliberately undermining his authority.

Then he just took our papers away, sent a note to the ambassador and sent to the

police. Poor Emma, you must have been terrified. I was.

But, officer, you managed to get away. Yes, yes, we made our way downriver, the

thought of taking ship from port side.

But when we arrived, we found the police were already looking for us. Almost as

if we were criminals.

Yes. Well, I didn't know what to do.

Then we chanced upon this Greek who offered to help us. For a large sum of

money, he took us aboard a dhow bound for Crete.

Deck passengers.

He took us aboard a dead of night shortly before the vessel failed.

Well, it wasn't until first light that we realized our fellow passengers were

all lepers.

We were heading for the leper colony.

Retina. Yes.

Get on your work.

Look, I know what you must be thinking, but I can assure you we had no contact

with those lepers. No contact.

But you were on the same boat.

Yes, but when he saw who we were, the captain roped off the portion of the

for our sole use.

And that night, when we were close to the coast of Crete, the captain put us

ashore on a deserted stretch of the coast.

It took a fair amount of gold to persuade him.

But didn't you go to the British consul?

And the police?

Yes, but you must remember we had no papers to prove our identity.

And for all we knew, the captain could have informed the authorities that we'd

escaped.

Well, later that night, we came across this fishing boat.

Well, I hate to say, but the temptation was too much, and I stole it.

I know nothing about sailing, and so we just drifted for two days.

And then we picked you up.

Yes.

Look, I do promise you there's nothing to worry about.

It's so hot in here.

Would you mind if I went on deck for a breath of air, Father?

I'll come with you, my dear.

That is in order, Captain Bane.

Aye, it's a calm enough night.

Well, if you'll excuse us both.

Good night.

Good night, General.

Good night.

A little experience for them to go through.

Aye. If it's true, I've only got that word for it.

Croker, Captain.

You breathe a word of what you heard in here tonight.

Not me, Captain. And you better mean that.

If I hear anyone else mention the word leprosy, I'll know you've gagged. And

I'll personally make sure you never work another ship again. Now, do I make

myself clear?

Aye, Captain. Try that after you go.

You were a bit sharp with Croco, weren't you, Captain Bates? Mrs. Only Eden, if

the word got out that those two had been in contact with lepers, we'd have had a

mutiny on our hands before we could say knife.

Sure not.

Lettie, for a start, no fault with your century.

Best we can hope for is six weeks' quarantine.

So, uh, just forget that you ever heard the word leprosy.

Hey, croaker, you best dare yourself.

Matt, put him for you. You promised him some of the pickings.

Fools! Now look, Dutchie. You give it to Jimmy. Let him be.

He promised me good food. Now you let him be, Dutchie.

Any pickings from Captain's table, and I say you get them.

Do you understand?

One day, I settle you.

Max, there was nothing left.

It were all bones.

Look, I'll get you a bit of bacon for breakfast. How's that?

Right. And none for Dutchie. Right.

Did you find out what happened?

About Professor Dawson and his daughter, you mean?

Aye, well, Mac reckons he knows how they got here.

Oh, how?

He reckons they went for an afternoon sail and just drifted out to sea.

Well, I'm damned.

How did you know that, Mac?

Did I not tell you, Jimmy?

I feel be in a good mood now.

Jimmy? Aye?

Do you know anything about...

Leprosy? Why?

Oh, they were just talking, that's all.

Some poor devils that they'd seen out east. I was just curious, that's all.

Well, the thing I know is, if I had leprosy, I'd put a bullet through my

Double quick.

Daniel, I do so enjoy the Cafe Royal.

Everyone there is such fun.

Am I fun, Angela?

Well, you're much more than that, Daniel.

You're wicked as well.

Well, if memory serves correctly, you can be pretty wicked yourself when you

try.

Tonight, I don't even have to try.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Are we here, driver?

Yes, Mama.

This is B -square.

Don't be long, Daniel.

Oh, Daniel, thank heavens you're all right.

I had the most dreadful train journey imagining all the terrible things that

might have happened to you.

But here you are, safe and sound.

Yes.

Ah, the explosion, you mean? Well, of course. Didn't you get my telegrams?

been quite frantic with Warren. Yes, well, you see, I've been out most of the

day. Elizabeth, I've had a marvellous idea. Why don't we find a quiet

where we can relax and have supper? Now, we haven't done that for a long time,

have we? Daniel, as impulsive as ever.

Very well.

Here, your bow's come undone. Let me tie it for you.

Who did that cape belong to?

What?

I... I've been waiting for you to unlace that...

Oh,

you.

You.

You're too damn slow, Jimmy, huh?

No, it's not me. I felt a bit giddy, that's all. Like a woman, yeah?

Come on.

Fine ship, this one, Eden.

The name like Christian Raddick, surely it was built in Scandinavia.

Aye, the previous owner was a Norwegian.

Tell me, does your wife often travel with you?

Occasionally.

My wife used to accompany me to all the digging.

She was a great helpmate.

Only wish she'd lived to share in my triumph.

Oh?

What triumph was that?

Well, my discovery of the chamber. I told you about it last night, remember?

Quite unique.

And not only the chamber itself, but what I found.

Yes, of course, I can only reveal that to the Royal Society.

But you'll read all about it in the newspapers.

So, you are to become famous, eh?

Yes, I... I suppose I will be.

But you know of far greater importance is the fact that at long last I shall be

acclaimed upon my peers.

So, how's your daughter this morning?

She seems to have a bit of a temperature.

Oh, she's probably caught a chill.

Anyway, your wife said she's looking on her.

Did she, by heck?

None of you had this ration.

I first noticed it last night.

Good morning.

Your father tells me you're not feeling well.

He has rather a high temperature, James, and then there's this rush.

Betty, would you come outside, please?

What? Outside.

Well, now.

Excuse me just a moment, Emma.

James, how dare you talk to me like that? Well, you don't seem to reckon.

my daughter?

Oh, Professor.

Would you come into the cabin, please?

Stay there, Matty.

Professor, would you mind opening your shirt, please? Look, O 'Neill, and I

it's in your mind, but... Father, please.

Oh, very well.

Down there.

How long have you had that temperature?

I'd hardly call it that.

Look, it's stuffy down here. That's why I went up on deck.

I see.

Professor, I hope you don't mind if I ask you and your daughter to stay in the

cabin. For how long? I don't know. At least until the rash disappears.

But that could be days cooped up in here.

Look, O 'Neill, I think you're being very unreasonable. Whatever my daughter

has, it certainly isn't leprosy. Don't make a fright.

All I'm saying is that whatever it is you have got could be contagious.

I want you to remain in isolation.

Yes, I understand.

He's right, Emma.

It could be scarlet fever.

Measles.

Anything.

Wouldn't be fair to pass it on, would it?

The door's going to be locked, and I'm keeping the key.

But you're locking them up like criminals, like animals, and all because

rat. It could be anything.

Aye, and it could be one thing in particular.

Mr. Lean's right, ma 'am. Best take no chances.

After all, we do know that they've been in the company of lepers.

Fear. You're both acting out of blind fear. Don't you think that poor girl has

been through enough? Letty, do you see this?

This is the ship's captain's medical guide. Now, anything to do with

and this is his Bible.

Tells him all sorts of things.

How to set a broken leg, or stitch up a wound, take out a tooth.

Even tells him how to deliver a baby. Sturdy lice.

But it says damn all about diagnosing leprosy. Now, I know because I have read

this from cover to cover. What you're saying is that you don't know.

Well, what am I to do? Pretend they haven't been in contact with leprosy?

Damn it, I don't even know if it's contagious or not. That's how little I

And I'm not taking any chances.

Why don't you lie down, Father?

Try to rest.

No, I'm... I'm quite all right, my child.

Nobody's going to steal it, you know.

I suppose not.

Obviously don't trust him.

I'm sorry, James.

You were right, I was wrong.

The master's always right, even when he's wrong.

I'm pleased.

I'm not.

There's a master under God.

What is a special description?

Everything is his responsibility.

Why?

How long before we reach Liverpool?

Eight, ten days.

Have you heard when Uncle James and Aunt Lettie are due home yet?

Sometime this month, I believe.

I understand they've bought a new house near here. Yes.

You'll be neighbours? Yes.

I suggested to Charlotte that we might move out here.

Far better for the children, of course. Samuel!

Yes. Well, you did say you wanted to see me about something, and I assumed it

was important.

Yes, it was, very.

The fact of the matter is, I've had a letter. Oh? From William.

He says he's returning home shortly.

When is he coming home?

He didn't say. Has he not written to you?

Well, the last letter I had was about two months ago from Italy.

Ah, he wrote to me from Nice, and that was ten days ago.

So he could be home any time.

Yes, and that's the problem, you see.

He asked if he might call and see his son, Robert.

Of course, I gave the matter due consideration.

But I had to take into account Charlotte's feelings.

There's no sense in opening up old wounds.

So I wrote to William, refusing his request.

I see.

You did explain your reasons, I imagine.

No, Aunt Elizabeth, I don't owe William anything, and I certainly don't have to

explain my actions to him after the way that he behaved.

Does Charlotte agree with your decision?

Oh, Charlotte knows nothing of the letter, no.

My reason for calling was to explain the situation to you and to ask you to

persuade him not to pursue the matter further.

Well, I don't know that I can do that, Samuel.

Aunt Elizabeth, my house is barred to William.

And the sooner he realises this, the better for all concerned.

Well, I can understand your concern, but he's over 21 and I really don't...

Uncle Daniel, I didn't know you were coming home.

Hello, Samuel.

How's Westminster?

You were just going... Yes, of course, Aunt Elizabeth.

Daniel?

Get out of my house.

My house, Elizabeth?

How? Dare you show your face here. Elizabeth, I hope that after a week you

have calmed down and we could talk sensibly. A week, yes. A week without so

as a word from you.

Oh, was that supposed to be part of my punishment for daring to discover your

thwarted little... It was not an affair. We'd met at a party. Now, she's Lord

Taplo's daughter. I don't give a damn who she is. We'd had a lot to drink. The

situation simply got out of hand. Well, from the little I saw, I would have said

you had the situation very much in hand.

I'm sorry I was so inconsiderate to spoil things for you. Elizabeth, in the

year, I've hardly seen you. Oh, I see. You're saying the cause of your

unfaithfulness is my doing. I'm simply saying that had we seen more of one

another, this would never have happened. And yet, knowing all this, you chose to

go off to the Sudan. I didn't choose. The Prime Minister asked me to go.

Now, I'm simply trying to say that our separation has contributed.

Well, damn it, Elizabeth. I'm not a monk. I'm a man.

And that excuses everything, does it?

I'm a man.

Had I taken a lover, Daniel, would you have accepted such an excuse from me?

I'm not a nun, I'm a woman. You're always a childish and old fool. Well,

different for a man. Not in the eyes of the law.

What do you mean?

Adultery, Daniel.

It applies equally to both husband and wife.

A grounds for divorce.

Bring her a bit of a blow, ma 'am. You'll be better off below.

I'm quite all right, thanks, Captain Bates.

You throw your sack in. Put your bag into it.

Come on, Batsy. I thought you were supposed to be strong.

Gee, I might as well do all the work myself.

You don't think so, yeah?

Two swabs and get that damn sheet in double quick.

Captain Baines, this man's hand.

You there, find the carpenter and get those fingers into some hot tar.

Aye, sir.

Tar?

Captain Baines, he needs a proper dressing on.

Mrs. O 'Neill, will you kindly allow me to run this ship?

Come away, let me.

Do as you're told.

Letty, it really would not interfere with the running of the ship.

You've been trying to show something, Pastor.

Look, sailors are used to taking knocks. Yes, Captain Baines told that poor man

to put his fingers into boiling tar.

It's absolutely barbarous. Oh, lie down and sit down, will you, for a moment.

You get hot tar not boiling, just warm enough to heal the wound and purify.

It's an old remedy, and it works.

I beg your pardon, sir. Yes, what do you want? I've got the food ready for them,

too. Aye, I'll be with you in a minute. Now, you just stay there, Letty.

It almost blows over.

What happened, Jimmy?

Are you sure it's an accident?

I must have flipped, your donaghy.

Isn't that right, that is?

Yes, you flipped.

You want tea?

No.

No. Good God, man, you're burning up.

Here, festripant.

Oh, you had this fever.

Maybe a week.

Perhaps Professor Macborough was right after all, Father.

About what?

That.

Now, we don't believe in that mumbo -jumbo, do we?

I don't want to die, Father.

Now, what kind of talk is that?

of a rash appearing here, Professor?

No.

Temperature? Normal. Look, it's Emma I'm worried about. Surely you must have

something to bring her temperature down.

I've told you. I've given you everything in the message.

There's nothing else.

All right, Cracker, I'll take that. You still think it might be leprosy, don't

you? You're bossed down, man.

I've told you.

I just don't know.

I'm sure it isn't.

God, I hope not.

Thank you.

No point in you being cooped up here.

I'll get the door unlocked and give you a chance to stretch your legs. Only when

there's nobody about behind you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can you take a little food, Emma?

I can feel its presence.

Get rid of it, please.

Oh, Emma.

You don't know what you're asking.

It's nothing to do with us.

Believe me.

What

the

hell are you doing here?

He's the injured man. You'll not want it here, lady.

That ain't... Captain Eden!

Your leg is... It's all right.

Leg is... Come on, Eddie. Out.

Why didn't you ask Mr. O 'Neden to look at his hand?

Well, Jimmy's looked after me since I was a bear. That's why.

That people's shocking.

Having his fingernails torn out. That shook me damned.

That's people I'm worried about.

Beep it. Aye.

Burning up?

Letty, will you get it into your head that the postal belongs to the men?

Just as the saloon belongs to us. Those are their quarters and they are private.

You're a child, James. I understand perfectly now.

But don't you change the subject.

I was talking about the dreadful conditions they live under.

They're crammed in like animals. The pace is running with water. The air

Fowl, there's hardly any light. Oh, I'll fit them cabins, shall I? Build them

bathrooms. Yes, I might even leave them a settee to lounge around in. Of course,

there won't be any room for the cargo, but what does that... Oh, no, you're

being ridiculous.

All I'm suggesting is that you provide your men with better living quarters.

Letty, you are poking your nose into something that you do not understand.

I'll pay them well. I'll pay them good wages.

Of course, if you want to become a great reformer, why not start with your own

factory, eh?

What? Aye, why not?

Just look at the conditions that your women work under before you start

preaching to me.

Well?

Well. Hmm.

Now, if you don't mind, James, I think I'll go to the cabin.

As you please.

Nasty little squall, that, while it lasted.

Aye.

Broker, are you telling me that those two are lepers? No.

Well, they might be. Might?

Now, what kind of talk's that?

Look at me. Poor Jimmy's got the same thing as what they have. Is that not

right? Aye. Aye?

Then let's damn well give it to him. At any rate, he ought to be in quarantine

the same as the other two. Captain, should not bring them on ship. Aye,

right, Dutchie. Should have left them in little boats. Aye.

There's no reason why they shouldn't be put back in a wee boat. Aye. Fetching

the diseased aboard.

I reckon we need a deputation, lad.

Tell Captain Beans to cast those two adrift.

Then maybe we'll sleep easy in our bed.

Look, I only said they might be. Stop your blubbering and watch me.

Hey!

Hey, burn for the captain!

Die, you old women!

I go with you. You bring that with you.

Kim's son.

Killing him.

No.

Let's leave.

Forever.

No.

I don't want to die.

No.

Another 18 hours, we'll have wolf rock and a starboard beam.

Good call, Interval, but that's frozen.

That girl does need a doctor.

Yeah, they put us into quarantine, and that's for sure.

Can't they help?

I didn't hear no one tell you to come in.

Deputation, Captain.

With a belaying pin?

Look, I'll find it on the deck. I'll put it back later.

Right, now speak your piece.

Right.

Now, those two passengers, we want them off this ship.

Oh, you do, do you?

Aye.

They've got leprosy.

Who told you that? It doesn't matter.

Now, what does matter is my wee pal Jimmy's got it.

Any sickness in the folks and I should have been told. Damn your rules and

regulations, Captain.

Now, Jimmy's sick and we want those two off this ship now.

You're out of line, mister.

Now, you just listen to me. No, you listen.

Now, if you don't get those two off this ship, then we damn well will.

I wouldn't do that if I was you.

I'll get him back to the post, though.

I'll be along to see Jimmy.

To put him in a cabin of his own.

Now we'll have to put him to power.

And into quarantine.

I had the same history.

I know.

You've got rid of it, haven't you?

Yes.

Well? Thank heaven. Emma's rash has almost disappeared.

Yes, it was quite incredible. Unbelievable.

Within minutes of my throwing that casket overboard, Emma's temperature

pour. Professor.

What was in this casket? Something quite unique.

You see, the casket was the sole content of that chamber I had discovered.

And when Professor Maspero told me that if I attempted to take it out of the

country, I would be cursed, well, I simply assumed he was being overly

melodramatic.

Now I'm not so sure.

What was he regarding?

The mummified head of a small boy.

Possibly a son of Amenhotep.

Probably the child had been murdered, who can say?

But the actual state of preservation was quite amazing.

to have been able to present that to the nation. Professor Dawson, when we talk,

I shall ask for a clean bill of health.

But what of that poor unfortunate sailor who... Died of influenza.

And that's what I've entered in the law.

You mean you'll not even mention leprosy?

Oh, if we did that.

You have to mention every disease that it could have been.

More sailors die of influenza each year than I've had hot dinners, and that's

what I reckon he died of. If only I had thrown it overboard earlier.

Perhaps that would have saved him. Only if you believe in all that mumbo -jumbo.

Dorsey.

Where do you stay,

Mark?

I don't know.

Me, I stay at Mark Emmons.

She got good duties.

I know.

Hey, why don't we stay together?

Plenty drink.

You and me make damn hell, yeah?

Aye. Why not?

Plenty drink. Plenty women.

Plenty fight.

Good time, yeah?

Yeah.

Uncle Daniel, will you please stop telling me what to do? I'm simply saying

if you give Charlotte that letter, you'll be going directly against

wishes. Well, if Samuel hadn't acted so high -handedly in the first place... We

had every right. He's a husband. Oh, to Elizabeth.

Now, would you mind telling me what this letter is all about?

I imagine you didn't ask me here simply to watch you and Uncle Daniel quarrel.

I've received a letter from William.

And in it, there's another letter addressed to you. This one.

Well, that's only half the story, Charlotte.

It appears that William and Samuel have been in correspondence, and Samuel has

expressly forbidden William to contact you. Well, Samuel made no mention of

this. As I see it, the matter is purely between William and Charlotte.

Elizabeth, the boy is using you to go behind Samuel's back.

If there is a letter that's addressed to me, well, then I think I should read

it.

Thank you.

My dear Charlotte,

I'm shortly returning to Liverpool.

And if you can find in your heart some measure of forgiveness, may I ask that I

might be allowed to call to see you and our son.

I'm so excited.

Calm down.

My own little villa, just for the two of us.

James?

We're going in the wrong direction, surely?

No, we're going in the right direction.

Are you sure?

Aye.

James, this is the wrong house.

No, that's the right house.

Before we left, we bought a small villa.

It can't have grown.

You've bought a different house, haven't you?

Ah.

James, how could you?

Oh, you'll get to like it. Letty, I promise you, you will. I like that

villa. Well, wouldn't you get furniture in here? We bought a small villa just

for the two of us.

There were just six rooms.

Comfortable. Easy to manage.

Now, we did agree that I needed a study.

And if you remember, we agreed that one could be built on.

Well, the place is already good. One says it's the expense.

Here, look.

She's got a library.

Now, put the place in there, the library. Library?

You don't read a book from one year to the next.

Well, have a look at it, mate.

Guests? What guests?

Well, Charlotte,

Samuel, the children, the nursemaids.

Sarah likes a good book. There's no big in this house, James.

How many bedrooms are there?

How many?

Twelve.

Well, some of them are quite small.

Let's eat!

Let's eat!

Oh, damn it, woman, is there no place in here?
